A style blog based on a fifty-something Baby Boomer doing her best to age gracefully.
Here are all of my lifestyle posts featuring my family, travel, home decor, and inspirations.
Every year, I hope to get to Washington, D. C., to be among the many tourists to see the nation’s most extensive collection of cherry blossom trees. On April 28, 2013, I was pumped for spring to be in the nation’s capital for my first Nike Women’s Half-Marathon. That is not exactly how I planned […]
For as long as I can remember, I like tea parties. Perhaps it’s the inner girly girl in me. There’s something special about indulging in a spot of tea. Don’t we all want to have an air of sophistication and indulge in afternoon tea? I know I do; my great friend Cynthia, my daughter, and […]
Lights, Camera, Bloom! Celebrate the Movies at the Philly Flower Show. For the last 22 years, I’ve chosen all the different modes of transportation to get to the annual Philadelphia Flower Show. I drove, took the rails, and planned an organized bus trip to the Philadelphia Flower. These trips involved anyone accompanying me, my children, […]
I remember my first day as a pharmaceutical sales rep with AstraZeneca over 17 years ago. In 1998, I temporarily relocated to Da’Burgh, Pittsburgh. My accommodations included a one-bedroom apartment in North Hills near the regional office of AstraZeneca. Why? The training included not days, not just weeks, but three months of face-to-face classroom study […]
Dress Code Every four years, I take a political plunge during the election or re-election of the governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Last week, hubby and I attended the newly elected Tom Wolf’s “Let’s Get Started” themed inaugural celebration at the Hershey Lodge and Convention Center. Interestingly enough, the governor requested a low-key event […]
For the last two years, the federal holiday of Dr. Martin Luther King’s birthday reminds me of when I launched my blog, The Age of Grace. Like Dr. Martin Luther King’s famous speech, “I Have A Dream,” too. However, my dream is to inspire, connect, and remind women over the age of fifty that we can age […]
You can always tell when it’s the beginning of a new year. There are endless television commercials for weight loss, gym memberships, and new ways to tackle and keep resolutions. I gave up doing New Year’s resolutions years ago; I found better success utilizing vision boards. Check out my story, and I am answering the […]
The Final Course for 2014 No more counting down to Christmas; the holiday season is officially upon us and perhaps over by the time you read this post. Now that I am no longer knee-deep in holiday preparations, I am onto the final course of enjoying time with family and friends. I purposely plan to […]
As the year 2014 closes out, on the horizon, I see new visions and dreams that abound for the year 2015. This time of the year, I like to reflect upon the goals that I set forth with my vision boards. To remind you, a vision board is a tool that I use to help […]
I was challenged by lover.ly to take a stroll down memory lane in their #TBT —wedding edition. It’s kind of sweet since my hubby and I celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary this year. We decided to forgo the traditional party celebrations. We opted not to revisit Hawaii, where we honeymooned, but to take a vacation in […]
